do you remember hearing jane's addiction for the first time? subscribe for more uproxx.it/mrln2hd
From the movie parenthood. Nothing shocking was one of the greatest albums ever.
I say aaahhh...
Yeah I heard Jane Says and I was thinking this is the coolest shit I ever heard.
Yeah I think it was on the movie parenthood.
@@bfpeake933 I knew It oh lord yes girlfriend.
Every Jane’s show back in the day was like a gathering of the tribes. The punks, metalheads, skaters, goths, hair metal and glam rockers, the potheads and hippies, college and indie rockers… from industrial fans to new wavers, surfers to hardcores, gays to straights, dopers to the D&D geeks, and everything in between. It was just a glorious mix of every subcultural group of the time…. And it was their music that was the one thing everyone could agree on.
Well said. They were genre bending and unique.
damn great comment
Absolutely right!
I believe that was the greatest comment that anyone could ever leave or make on just about anything?!
True that; Me- farmer Black Flag fan was there for Jane's...
When I was in college, girls who listened to Jane's Addiction were A LOT more fun than the ones who didn't.
Of course we were.
I didn't go to college but if I did...😬😬😬
I think i get wat u mean.
@@kristinwolf1165 boom! lol
So easy girls listen to Jane's Addiction
This is one of those few bands whose library has truly aged into the finest wine. They sound better than ever.
I'm 62 next month and still think this song kicks ass.
52 and blasting this on my new JBL speaker and holy shit it’s loud. NICE keep rocking my fellow old timer. As the kids would say LOL
Need to grow up bro
That's a childish thing to say. One day you will respect other people's happiness @grahamhill9499
You'd be accurate with that ASSessment!!
Not to talk s*it about modern music, but I will. Bands that you can put the CD on and not have to skip songs are very uncommon now days.
Jane's was never one of those.
Good for listening, good for s"xy time, just good all around. So much energy from all of the members. It should be required listening for all.
Before bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam there was Janes Addiction. Ahead on the curve by a long way
I still remember my 7th grade english teacher playing this for the class when we asked him what his favorite song was. What a kick ass teacher, right?
We need more teachers who relate to there students in this type of way
Who gives a fuck what a waste of time. I would have walked out and told him to let me know when he's ready to teach. Teachers like that are why I spent half my school years getting lit instead of going to class. Pointless bullshit. I don't need to bond with a fucking teacher and if you can't function without having a feelings session, take your ass to special Ed. School days are already long enough without some douchebag going on about his music or fucking pets. There's always one kiss ass getting the teacher going off on some irrelevant shit.
J Carter someone pissed in their cereal
Richard R Absolutely!
are you just trying to blame other people for your own failures and bad life choices ...
Late 80’s and early 90’s was one of the best times for rock music.
Except Hair Metal!
It was only a space in time.
Nineties rock sucked and everything after is even worse
Heavier than what came after.
50’s-70’s too
COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN!!!!!!!!!!! one of the best opening lines to any rock song from that time.
And an incredible ending
What does it mean?
Sounds like a rip of off of some.old song!
It's the same intro as Hang Tough from Tesla
Can't believe this song is over 30 years old... I can't believe I'm in my 40's
Eddie Blackford our music still kicks 5he shit out of today’s music.hay rock on man we the man now .
You and me both.
No shit right? Still coming down that mountain!
I'm in my fifties bombing down a hill on my Longboard to a mates house and listening to this through my headphones , Perry was rocking while I was carving . 🤘
Summertime rolls brother! I'm 43 yrs old! Still can't give up the good stuff! Oh, the good days.
'Nothing's Shocking' is one of the most solid and unique rock albums ever.
StateLaughter One of the top 10 albums ever!!!!! Couldn’t believe my ears.
StateLaughter album changed my life!!!!! Serious.
A one off.
StateLaughter: "Ritual..." was my intro into J.A. of course after the release of the "Been Caught Stealing" single, but once I got "Nothing's Shocking", I knew immediately that it was the superior album of the two -- the latter isn't as coherent a composition as the former and hasn't aged as well as its predecessor has. The self-titled live debut album is better than "Ritual...", too!
@@shruggzdastr8-facedclown I love ritual but I think you're right! I find so much inspiration in Nothing's Shocking and their self-titled debut album, My Time, Trip Away, I would for you, every song, gold.
...and kids this is exactly what a Jane's show looked like when I saw em in '88. As a 20 year old metal head I thought this was like Aerosmith on acid. I saw them at the Metropol in Pittsburgh. Coolest thing was the pit would slow down with the pace of the songs, like everyone was moshing in slow motion. Then it would speed back up as soon as the songs got faster. If you're 20 years old right now as we speak, go find something like this. You'll be 53 years old someday too, and it rocks to have great memories!
Well said Sir, i first started moshing at age 21 or so and now it's my goal every show i go too, I'm 30 years old now
The 1980s were bananas. Such a weird, distorted, beautiful and scary time. What a band.
Scary i just wanted your money and took out my gun
you didn't cry throughout the 90s did you?
I guess I had a different 80’s, I did enjoy Gn’R, Skid Row, early Metallica, Pantera and Weird Al, but apart from that, the 80’s was mostly shoulder pads, synth drums and keytars.
Jane’s Addiction was a 90’s band.
What was scary about the 80s ? That was the best time of my life. The shitty days we live in now are scary.
@@warhammer1 rem murmur also feels like a 90s album
Best period of Jane's. They were a fucking sonic juggernaut.
Johan Liebert absolfreakinlutely!
+Johan Liebert much better than the watered down 70's. The 60's and 90's were about real expressionism.
that comment will not be dissolved by time, It will live on through the ages
fearbabyriffs Rd draft. F m. .;.55 l.
An all-time era period, right after music has been on a downward spiral.
A great time in La was had by all.
I still remember sitting in the backseat of my friend's car in early '89 when the guy riding shotgun put this tape in. We were metalheads (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer) and I was completely blown away. This one album changed how I looked at music to this day ranks as my all time favorite album. It's absolutely perfect.
Seen em alot
Changed my listening habits. Had only ever listened to regular old rock. These guys blew my mind.
Some music is for the body. Some for the mind. Some for the soul. But Jane's addiction"s music has all three of those dials turned up to ten!
Me and my girlfriend at the time drove four hours to Dallas for Lallpolooza to see Jane's. That was in 1991. My first festival and it's etched in my mind.
I was there too! People starting fires with anything they found. That was a great show, so many good bands!
I was at this show. No surprise for me because I had been following Perry since his previous band Psi Com. And I love how Angelo from Fishbone is up on stage too. In fact, that's how I found out about Jane's Addiction was from Norwood of Fishbone. I had seen Fishbone open up for Camper Van Beethoven at Madame Wong's (I think) in 1984 before Fishbone had released anything. I had no idea who Fishbone was. Hell, nobody did! But I'll never forget about 3 of the guys (probably Chris, Angelo, and ... Walt) came on stage doing head over heels cartwheels which just showed how much energy I was in for. Yeah, they BLEW ME AWAY! I ended getting to know them and then I ended up driving those guys around town to shows for about 4-5 months because none of them owned a car at the time, and I did. I even drove all of them all the way from where they rehearsed at The Fishbowl (Norwood and Fish's big green apartment building off La Cienga Blvd I think) all the way to UC Irvine where a friend of mine was a DJ at the time, DJ'ing as Carlos Marx (Tony Ozuna). It was a crack up as Fishbone took over the building and show. My friend briefly interviewed them but all they wanted to do was play music, and they did! I discovered Funkadelic Maggot Brain that night :-) Anyway, fast forward to what ... 1986, I had known about Psi Com breaking up when I saw Norwood at a show and he tells me Perrys got a new band together and I should check them out. So, I went to the very first Jane's show ever. Looking at google maps just now I think it was the building on the NW corner of Hollywood Blvd and Las Palmas. I just remember the show was located in a building that looked like the one currently at Hollywood n Las Palmas. The show was on the 2nd story above what was at that time a shoe store. And now appears to be a market (me editing this in 2020). Walking up to pay the door girl was topless. Very cool start :-) Anyway, I remember the place was FULL of helium filled balloons across the ceiling and was a damn good show. So much so that I have easily seen Jane's Addiction more than any other band in my life. As for this Mountain Song show, I wish I could see myself in this video. There is only one possible time I might be in this because I was standing on a small table against the back wall where it is very dark. I think at one point I saw my silhouette but ??? I just remember it so absolutely jam packed I saw the table and climbed on top. I'm a tall dude too but it was stifling down below. And those 2 chicks @ 02:06 ... it was like everything froze when they walked in. I remember me and my friend Dave just slack jawed when we saw them ... like WHO ARE THOSE GIRLS?!? They were part of Perry's entourage and they would be at just about every show from then on. Never met them though ... not sure why.
I do hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging or anything. It's just the memories I have as THOSE were the days to roughly quote Classic Girl. Then years later at the 2nd Coachella ever in ... 1999, 2000? Perry was playing so I found the tent he was in an went up to him and asked "Perry, how's it going? Do you remember me?" He looked at me and said "Uh ... your smile looks familiar". I was somewhat shocked as I used to talk to him all-the-time. But then again I had heard and read that he was going to Bali A LOT doing all sorts of drugs so ... who knows. Then again, I was just a hanger on always talking to the musicians but never participating in the music itself so ... maybe that's it. Whatever, he remembered my smile ... I'll take it :-)
Thing is, I bet if I saw any of the guys from Fishbone they would all remember me. Especially Angelo or Norwood. Those guys were very cool and cracked me up! Yes ... memories.
great story thanks for sharing
Amazing story; thank you so much for sharing!!! EPIC!!
Saw Fishbone at Lollapalooza '93 in Atlanta. On the grass behind the seating people were throwing wadded-up cups (the old red waxy Coke cups) and the whole area had a big red blurry look from all the cups that were flying back and forth.
During Alice In Chains' set, for "Rooster" they had guest backup vocals by Maynard James Keenan from Tool, and dUg Pinnick from King's X!
Cool story ❤️😀
I still remember (1989) being in gym class & walking up to this kid who played. The only stuff he had ever listened to were bands like Quiet Riot, Ratt, Motley Crue, Metallica etc,. I handed him my portable CD player headphones and then got this cheshire cat grin on my face & said listen to this! It was unbelievable watching his facial expression! After about 30 seconds his mind was blown! He looked at me and said what is this?! Mountain Song by Janes Addiction. Ah the good old days!
I bet you had to hold that discman real steady... ya know,.. so it wouldn't skip! lol
John Galt was it four or eight times oversampling....😋😋😋in that discman
Great story man! During that same year ('89), I was a freshman in high school and I gave a copy of Nothing's Shocking to a guy in one of my classes who also listened to many of those same hair metal bands. The next day I asked him what he thought and he said, "It sounds like stuff that murderers would listen too." I don't know if he ever listened to them again, but I definitely took that response as a compliment - LOL.
Do you always larp on TH-cam?
John Galt Ratt is pretty fuckin breezy
ERIC AVERY’S WORK ON A BASS GUITAR IS UNDERRATED
Truer words were never spoken, not only is he a monster player but most of their songs originated with him. Ever notice how many of their songs start with a bassline? Ever notice how their material without him kind of sucks? It isn't a coincidence, he was the backbone and without him they aren't Jane's Addiction
There's definitely a missing ingredient on the newer Jane's albums, isn't there?
Explosive chemistry in those first three Jane's records.
@@hjermsted22 after 'Ritual ' i left the fold...and 'we'll make great pets' wasnt so great, not like this.
I heard that they were put together by the record company, and grew to hate each other.
My friends called it 'devil music', lol
But this whole disc was GREAT....way more Zeppelin than Greta Van whatever-
Amazing band!! Perry's vocals, Eric's incredible bass lines, Steven's tribal drumming and Dave's playing were something very unique and special at that time. Really, a band that cannot be duplicated! Long live Janes Addiction!
Always a little jarring to see young Dave with that long, dreadlocky hair and clean shaven
Incredible they are I mean fabulous
Absolutely love the freaky
Perry Farrell was an animal. That hair is awesome, and the vocal solo at the end is sick.
Nicholas Stines :That weird guitar part in 'Ted..Just Admit it' is also pretty insane and intense. You know the part I'm talking about.
*is
Skateboarding to this song in the 80's.....
'Nothing's Shocking' is one of the most solid and unique rock albums ever.
Marty! We need to go back!!!
Damn Navarro's guitar sound mixed with Farrell's voice is this band. One of the best guitar/singer combos ever.
......basslines a major piece as well. Drummer is bad ass. Many strong elements make a very good band.
It’s all of them. Sounds crappy without the bass and drums.
Perry is the only guy that can make bike shorts and fishnets look cool.
Slot of ppl sound crappy live this guy owns it lol
not so sure about that....
Jane's Addiction is one of the most underrated ever...did you see
55 yrs old and still love this.
Lol never thought would still be blown away by awsome music of that time at 59 ,pretty f 'in cool
Saw this band when they were opening for love and rockets... They played their set and I was blown away... Met the band later that night in a hotel elevator.... We hung out with the band and met love and rockets,also... A memorable night
The “So Alive” tour was my first concert ever….unfortunately they had The Godfather’s open for them…although I did get to see these guys a few times… For some weird unknown reason Portland Oregon likes to throw shoes onto the stage during shows during Jane’s Addiction concert they did that didn’t bother Perry until someone threw a Birkenstock Perry decided to stop the song picked it up walked back over to the microphone and said “Birkenstock what the fuck you don’t know the first thing about fashion” and then continue this song
Wow. I'm jealous. I saw Peter Murphy at a small venue back in the day. Great show.
Dream tour my god
I just bought a ticket to see Love and Rockets open for Janes Addiction in San Diego in August.....
A truly original band. These guys started a whole scene.
im 44 now and i can remember this like yesterday. 1st lollapalooza concert Orlando Fl Janes takes the stage , fan starts climbing the speaker scaffolding, crowds starts chearing him on staff and security yelling at him to get down janes kicks into this song but only the beginning bass riff for about 7-10 minutes while the crowd is going crazy fan is climbing higher and higher cops and fire dept start to go up after him while band is still playing intro bass solo , crowd at this point is going histerical my blotter acid is in full swing dude starts to fall from scaffolding as fire dept grabs him perry Farrell kicks into COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. Most freaking awesome concert experience of my life .
bigmanracing300 Ktm top 5 albums of all time for sure!!!!!!
I was there for that also
@@blairsmith1624 agreed
I was there. He sang with Ice-T too...
Awesome I agree--saw Lolla that year in Illinois
It should be mandatory that every upcoming teenager listen to this song and watch the video.
I was about 19 yo when I discovered JA, thanks to MTV, the only channel that could show me the world outside my little sleepy Italian village from which I wanted to escape and never return. And I did, getting on a flight to London, where I had the most amazing opportunity to see Perry & Co in a rather small and very sweaty venue in Portobello and managed to be dragged backstage with my friend Debbie, to discover that David Gahan from Depeche Mode was also there with them. I have beautiful photos of that gig. And I loved/ love these guys to the moon and back. And that experience is still so incredibly alive in my memory. One of the most amazing.
so dope. Dave Gahan surprise bonus!
The most underrated band there will ever be
Skateboarding to this song in the 80's.....
+Johnny Mireles I rocked to it too. I was driving a car, but hope you had the same luck as me!!
Skating to it in 2016
Fuck yes man. What great memories.
You were the man
Chris Hernandez keep it alive!!
The "vocal solo" at the end is one of my favorite Jane's moments... There will never be another vocalist like Perry Farrell and I think few truly recognize the genius he had
+MrFluidity1 Hard to believe he's nearly 60 years old now.
Dude, he was a fucking god. Loved his sound. No one like him still to this,day
Thx. Now know how to listen to them.
@@badape5802 and how's that?
You talk about them in the past tense… but yes way bill & ted… these dudes are still alive 😂😂
TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY ONE.........OH MY GOD.........
One of my mums favourite bands back in the 90's my mum played her music LOUD!!!😂
your mum in the 90s shoud fuck so goood
Beyond all the imagery and sonic ferocity, this is a solidly composed, timeless, and beautiful song.
dropping acid, listening to Jane's...watching the popcorn ceiling rotate by the candlelight. The 80's were pretty intense.
I did the same! Always listened to Jane's on the way up.
Try" Mr. Bungle " on acid. Trippy.
100% acid song
blinking Christmas lights and my comforter in the same color as the lights!
Soundgarden hit just the same on acid.
Sitting here in Mexico in quarantine and missing the good days.
igual, pero en argentina fbksjd
Eric Avery's intro just blows me away. One of my top 5 bass players
Nothing's Shocking is one of the best '80s/'90s modern rock albums ever made!
My first boyfriend was 11 years older than me - I was 18, he was 29. There were a lot of things wrong with that relationship, but one thing I'll always love him for was his introducing me to Jane's Addiction. They changed my life.
Going to see them Saturday here in Cleveland! The land of Champions!!!! .....and The Donald!!!
Fuck the Donald, but love everything else!
+Primus Sucks I agree! I was just being a bit sarcastic.
fuck killery and fuck all of you forever
That's what Jane says :p
The music, the surrealism… while seemingly chaotic, has profound meaning and depth. It’s a manifestation of Perry’s grief and trauma. As you can see in the video everyone is tripping on drugs and going out of their minds. Perry’s physical, violent convulsions are amalgamated with a kind of spiritual ascension that expresses a divine, poetic sound that resonates with so many people. Coming down the mountain is a reference to coming down from being high on heroin, and how difficult that is. In an interview, Perry said that “everybody has their own opinion” and “cash in now, honey” is a tribute to his late mother, who committed suicide when he was a child. Each of us has his or her own opinion if life is worth living or not, and she decided to cash in. It’s so profoundly sad. Perry has sacrificed his pain for the benefit of our own redemption.
I’ve never done heroin, or any other hard drugs, but when I listen to this song, Perry takes me with him on that ride and it transcends all the stuff that I’m dealing with… it’s so empowering.
Nailed it. Beat the machine through self denial, love, sacrifice to a higher purpose. The Way.
Enough avalanche for Mons Olympus. 🎉
KISS
Marc Ecko’s Getting Up In my heart forever
Marty! We need to go back!!!
At 42, I definitely would love to relieve me of the 80s. But then I ask you: How is this possible listening, sounds like that classic Jane's? Surely, if I reach 80 I ll say that this time I listened, danced, freaked my head and enjoyed my 17 years of age.
Long live the good old rock 'n roll!
Perry's voice is extremely nostalgic. Jane's Addiction and Porno For Pyros were fucking awesome 👌🏻. Wish I had a time machine
Proof that Eric Avery is one UNDERRATED bassist!
God damn--The shivers i get from the memories from Janes addiction.
Good ones :)
SHIVERS ... very intense ones
Heroin withdrawals
These guys rocked my world almost 30 years ago, and they still do. Now I just ache more afterwards.
good lord to go back in time to see some Jane's club shows would be absolutely amazing.
Worth the ache.
This reminds me of driving around Detroit with my buddy in his Mustang GT drinking Mickys and smoking a left hander listening to this tape over and over. This was the shit back in 88.
The bass line is absolutely BADASS!!!😙♥️♥️♥️
Still one of my favorite, life-changing songs...opened up whole new doors in music.
why? its really Mediocre
@@mind_of_Aagreed
a lot of people say Nirvana put an end to hair metal...for me as soon as I heard this track, I never wanted to listen to Bon Jovi or Skid Row again. It sounded fresh and powerful...still does in 2016.
Yeah, bands like Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, RHCP and Living Colour made glam metal irrelevant well before Nirvana even made Nevermind. To me, they were the final piece to the puzzle but not THE puzzle itself.
exactly!
Well said.
Nirvana was overrated and had maybe a few good songs.
Hardcore was pretty powerful too at the time. Much more raw and literally "hardcore" than glam bullshit. Glam was never hardcore as hardcore punk was so hardcore that it paved way for grunge and alot of metal.
In 2022 still a mile stone of free expression and a example of musicianship ..Perry and Navarro and that beautiful drum and bass.. absolutely destroyer 🖤
I've been listening to this song for damn near 35 years, and I'm only now seeing the video for it. Funny how that happens.
Those 9 track tapes man
Getting up!!
Yes Marc Eckos gettin up that shit was badass
dope sound tracks on that game
fuck yea
Mountain song
trane painting walls with this in the background was the best
This is the first song and video of Jane's Addiction i ever heard and saw and iv'e been a fan ever since.
This, and Nothing’s Shocking put so many bands that started the Alternative/Grunge movement on the map. INCLUDING Lollapalooza. Jane’s deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!!
@@cozmahnut agreed 👍🏼
Goosebumps everytime
This album is over 30 years old. I feel old. Jane's Addiction uber alles.
why does this not have more views? So underrated
Not really. Very rated, idiot.
Can't put it into words how amazing this song is
Timeless, could have come out last week
Blasted this during some really great moments in my life, the era of music then was incredible. Navarro's solo......
Just half-slept on a flight from Buffalo to Charlotte with the entire Nothing's Shocking album screaming though my headphones. Greatness.
Way ahead of their time
Of course dude. This band sounds like a 90s band. It is amazing to think this was the same era of those terrible hair metal glam bands
Back in the day when snowboarders weren't allowed to ride the lifts in resorts we had to hike many mountains to ride. I had this song on repeat in my head as I hiked my ass up the mountains of Tahoe to rip it up in the backcountry. Then suddenly 1990 and it all changed.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who constantly thinks of snowboarding while rocking this song, haha!
I've been searching for this song for years, and FINALLY I FOUND IT!
I wanna be in your shoes atm, would give anything to listen to it for the first time again! ❤️🥃🍀 Cheers lad
Still jams after all these years. That is what great music is all about.
Jane’s in their prime , killed them all! My all time favorite band!!!!!!
That dance move at 33 seconds is the coolest thing I've ever seen I think
AMERICAN MUSIC..
Was such a proud thing fr 1987-97
You better cash in now!!
Jane's Addiction, Alice In Chains, Tool, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots etc.....the 90's will always be the BEST era of music.
Don't forget Soundgarden! 👍🏻
God damn right
And, the likes of Mad Season, Temple of the Dog, Mother Love Bone, and Screaming Trees.
Primus, RHCP, Public Enemy, Pumpkins, Veruca Salt, Faith No More, RATM,...yes, the 90's RULED.
Smashing Pumpkins and RHCP too!
Just listening to Jane’s is exhilarating so I can’t imagine what it must have been like to be at their live shows...we need a band with this attitude again!
It was absolutely awesome! Best shows and times ever
Digo!
"She'll be comin' down the mountain when she comes." I first heard this in elementary screwel in 1961. The whole class sang it. It remains one of America's finest and best-known folk songs from the 1890's
It's "She'll be coming around the mountain"
Those guitars are SO big. Dave Jerden is a legend.
"Nothings Shocking" is the perfect title for this album! the energy just never stops. great song,video & Band.
I'm so grateful for Jane's Addiction. They have many great tracks, but this is in the top 5, for sure. I feel like I know quite a bit about rock music and so I can honestly say I don't think there's another band like them. Matchless. (I'm not saying that because so much of social media uses "Best. Band. Everrrrrr!" these days.) They're abstract, sexy, aggressive, whimsical at times, psychedelic - and put together in a way where I'm left wondering, "I don't know how they put all these things together and pulled it off, but it's sooooo great."
Well said!
Listening to this song makes me think of when I was 19 years old. Howard Stern would end its broadcast on KUFO and this song would play and there I am, lying in my bed in my room in my parents house, staring at the ceiling contemplating my existence like some dystopian nightmare...23 years later I wonder where the hell the time went....
I'm getting everyone together on 2020 new years eve and having a nothings shocking party!
This makes me want to go into an ocean and swim forever.
That song might be Tahitian Moon
It would make you Ocean size
Still beautiful after all this time. Thank you boys.
This shit goes hard til this day!!
What an era... I worked for Mega-Force Records and Concrete Management as a drum, guitar and bass tech for Lucy Brown (DC Band). I remember meeting Janes Addiction at the Limelight and having a crazy awesome conversation with Perry Farrell for 2 hours in the library. It was like we were brothers that were reunited during a natural impromptu moment in time. I Live and loved my youth!!!
One of the greats!
The only time I would ever sing out loud was inside my motorcycle helmet, and damn if I didn't sing this one every time I was barreling down a mountain.
This song hit me like a mack truck when I first heard it. Still does.
Shared 🖤
On this day in 1988, Jane’s Addiction released “Nothing’s Shocking”
This album ended the musical careers of many.
The band I was playing guitar in at the time (Ex-VoTo) opened this show...Also on the bill was Jack Grisham (TSOL) and his new band Tender Fury
I remember ExVoto playing at the Krypt.
Mark Allen - Did Jane play the full set at this show? I remember driving into LA to watch them about this time and they left after a couple songs. Perry was "not feeling well" and cursing the audience...
Saw Tender Fury open for Porno for Pyros at the Gary Tovar Benefit at the Palladium (Summer '92 I think) and they unfortunately got boo'ed off the stage. Didn't know a TSOL member was in that band.
Gymkhana 7.
This is an awesome song that Ken chose to end an awesome video.
Exactly what landed me here. Playlisted.
Yep. God bless us old fucks who were partying to this shit in the 80's. Likely how it wound up in the vid.
MisterUnconcerned Amen brother. I remember when KROQ would play this every 3rd song and I still never got tired of it....long live 90's alt rock
SupaDriftz that video brought me here
Same here.
Such a brilliant sonic assault to the senses, complete aural delight, one of the greatest albums in the history of rock and roll. So damn electrifying and phenonemal!
I discovered this song on VH1 when they were doing a countdown of the top 100 greatest hard rock songs back in 2008.
First song I ever heard from Jane's Addiction. Saw them live at some dive in 87 or 88. Fell in love with Eric Avery. Most melodic bassist ever.
Do remember which club it was? What city?
@@kevindemattia It was at The Roxy in Hollywood, July of 87.
Don't tell my mom, ok? I was supposed to be in Vacaville.
T Wozniak did Perry’s voice peak back in the 87 show you’d sad or was it not fully developed when you saw him just curious
HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 1 MILLION VIEWS?!!
Because we aren't cashing in, friend.
Dead Carrot album changed my life. Not kidding. Masterpiece
I was at this gig, if my memory serves me correctly, the RHCP's opened for them. I'm at the beginning of the song in the front row. Awesome show and very strange club.
I think most of us have a story of being completely blindsided with the discovery of Jane's Addiction.
I went to Spit/Axis in Boston back in 88' to see them live when Nothing Shocking came out. What a night, what a show, what an experience.
Damn wish I could have, I was 22 in 88. Cheers!
Game changer this can never be duplicated again thank god for Janes Addiction!
Awesome Jam, I’m 25, anyone else still running the gold jams if this fine era?
